< Hosea 9 >

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.
noli laetari Israhel noli exultare sicut populi quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici
2 The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.
area et torcular non pascet eos et vinum mentietur eis
3 They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
non habitabunt in terra Domini reversus est Ephraim Aegyptum et in Assyriis pollutum comedit
4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please Him, but will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat will be defiled. For their bread will be for themselves; it will not enter the house of the LORD.
non libabunt Domino vinum et non placebunt ei sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium omnes qui comedunt eum contaminabuntur quia panis eorum animae ipsorum non intrabit in domum Domini
5 What will you do on the appointed day, on the day of the LORD’s feast?
quid facietis in die sollemni in die festivitatis Domini
6 For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.
ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate Aegyptus congregavit eos Memphis sepeliet eos desiderabile argenti eorum urtica hereditabit lappa in tabernaculis eorum
7 The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived— let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.
venerunt dies visitationis venerunt dies retributionis scitote Israhel stultum prophetam insanum virum spiritalem propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et multitudo amentiae
8 The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman, along with my God, yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths. Hostility is in the house of his God!
speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo propheta laqueus ruinae super omnes vias eius insania in domo Dei eius
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.
profunde peccaverunt sicut in diebus Gabaa recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.
quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israhel quasi prima poma ficulneae in cacumine eius vidi patres eorum ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor et abalienati sunt in confusione et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea quae dilexerunt
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
Ephraim quasi avis avolavit gloria eorum a partu et ab utero et a conceptu
12 Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
quod si et enutrierint filios suos absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus sed et vae eis cum recessero ab eis
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
Ephraim ut vidi Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine et Ephraim educit ad interfectorem filios suos
14 Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!
da eis Domine quid dabis eis da eis vulvam sine liberis et ubera arentia
15 All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.
omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgal quia ibi exosos habui eos propter malitiam adinventionum eorum de domo mea eiciam eos non addam ut diligam eos omnes principes eorum recedentes
16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.
percussus est Ephraim radix eorum exsiccata est fructum nequaquam facient quod si et genuerint interficiam amantissima uteri eorum
17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
abiciet eos Deus meus quia non audierunt eum et erunt vagi in nationibus
